Aluminum Air Filter Housings for HVAC Systems

Yes. All ECOairflow aluminum housings are available in every industry-standard residential and commercial furnace cabinet size, including common sizes like 16x25, 20x25, and 16x20. Custom, oversize, odd, and exact sizes are also manufactured for non-standard or retrofit installations, ensuring compatibility with virtually any forced-air HVAC system.

No. All ECOairflow aluminum filter housings using Electronic Polarization Technology are ETL-certified to UL 2998 Zero Ozone Verification standards, emitting less than 0.0005 ppm of ozone — far below the 0.005 ppm UL 867 regulatory threshold. They are recommended by the US CDC and EPA as safe for occupied spaces including hospital ORs, classrooms, and residences.

ECOairflow recommends replacing glass-fiber mesh pads approximately every 3 months for residential applications. Commercial applications at low load factors may extend pad life considerably. Unlike traditional pleated filters that increase pressure drop as they load, ECOairflow pads maintain nearly constant airflow resistance throughout their entire lifecycle, reducing HVAC stress and energy costs.

Yes, significantly. ECOairflow aluminum housings feature ultra-low pressure drops — as low as 0.11 in.w.c. at 300 FPM for the Dynamo 1" EAC — which can reduce HVAC fan energy and heating/cooling costs by up to 15% annually versus conventional high-MERV pleated filters. An independent hospital study documented a 54% reduction in fan power consumption over 12 weeks compared to a traditional MERV 8 + MERV 14 bag filter train.

Yes. The M-Series 2" Hybrid EAC (Model 2300 M-Series) is specifically designed to meet ASHRAE 170 and CSA Z317.2 requirements for hospital environments. It is Appendix J certified at MERV 14A for emergency and treatment rooms and MERV 16A for operating rooms. The aluminum frame also exceeds ASHRAE 170 emission standards for both ozone and formaldehyde, making it safe for ICUs, ORs, and Protective Environment Rooms.

Yes. ECOairflow filter housings qualify for multiple green building credits including USGBC LEED EQ credits, WELL Building Standard compliance, ILFI, NGBS, and Passivehaus certification support. Their ultra-low pressure drop supports ASHRAE 90.1 fan-power compliance, and they meet the ASHRAE 62.1 (2022) IAQ Procedure, making them ideal for Net Zero Ready and LEED-certified new construction and retrofit projects.
